2 years ago

Paul McCartney has postponed the start of his U.S. "Out There Tour" as he continues to recover from a virus that landed him in a Japanese hospital last month.

The legendary rocker says, "I’m sorry, but it’s going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again. I’m feeling great but taking my doctor's advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon.”

The tour was supposed to get under way this coming Saturday in Lubbock, Texas, but will not get going now until July 5th in Albany, New York. The seven postponed dates will be made up in October. They are:

October 2: Lubbock, TX - United Spirit Arena (Re-scheduled from June 14)

October 11: New Orleans, LA - Smoothie King Center (Re-scheduled from June 19)

October 13: Dallas, TX - American Airlines Center (Re-scheduled from June 16)
